Default Official: Cookbooks are Porn!

Out of skeptical curiousity, I let a porn filter loose on my PC. I've never thought much of what I have heard of these and so i wanted to justify my skepticsism.

www.contentwatch.com will load a java app and scan your disk for what it considers porn. My electronic cooking files and personal cookbooks were all flagged.

They didn't approve of words like:

breast
mushroom
whip
whipping
blood
blaze
cracking
suck
liquor
bourbon
wine
blunt
shave
swing
screw
beat
melons
couple
knife


Sure, some I can undersand by context, but the point is these filters are absolutely clueless. And maybe I'm just naive but "c-game" is a forbidden word too. It showed up from a computer game file. And the news. Most files in my cache from news websites were also marked as pornographic.

Pretty funny overall. And sad too. Filtered people can't learn about cooking.
